Yesterday, one of our creative directors sent me a Times Online UK article about the new superfast Internet called the grid.

If you haven’t heard about the grid, it is being touted as a replacement to what we currently know today as the Internet. With speeds 10,000x faster than the current Internet, academics at Cern (where the original Internet was developed) anticipate amazing connectivity in the very near future. Researchers say the grid will allow for super-connectivity capabilities including holographic video conferencing, online gaming between thousands at one time, and hyper social networking.

If the the recent pace of Internet technology expansion is any guide (we’re less than 15 years into the history of the Internet), this grid technology has the potential to rapidly and profoundly change the way we live our lives, let alone engage in marketing and advertising.

Isn’t this incredibly exciting?
